Chicken

Chickens are a type of domesticated poultry often kept as sources of food by agriculturally-focused societies. Their eggs, in-game, are a source of health replenishment for the player.

In Resident Evil 5, some chickens will chase the player upon being aggravated or attacked, dealing minimal damage. They count as "enemies" in both Story Mode and The Mercenaries mini-game. In the latter, they give 2,000 points when killed by the player.

In Resident Evil 6, chickens briefly appear in an outdoor market in Lanshiang. Some of the birds are kept in crates, while others are roaming free. Unlike their other appearances in the franchise, killing these iterations of the poultry will not yield any reward or item for the player.
